A starboard quarter view, taken from wide off the stern, of the hull of the Orient Steam Navigation Company liquefied petroleum gas carrier Galpara (1978) on the building berth at the Thyssen Nordseewerke shipyard in Emden, West Germany. The photographer is in a boat just offshore showing the aft engine room bulkheads and the aft gas tank bulkheads in position. The aft gas tanks are more advanced than the forward ones. The Krupp-Ardelt crane number 2 is in the right foreground. Transparencies numbers P62771CT to P62785CT inclusive show the ship in the early stages of construction, long before launching, which took place on 4 June 1977.
